| In the rift valley close to the Rwenzori Mountains and the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo lies the picturesque Semiliki National Park. The vegetation shares many similarities with the great Ituri forest. Tropical low land species can be seen here.

Local tribes in the area are the Bakonjo and the Bamba pygmies. The main features of this park are the hot springs.
The adjacent Semiliki Game Reserve has a beautiful main lodge with a luxurious tented camp. Night game drives are also conducted to see nocturnal species.
This reserve is also home to the rare Shoebill stork.
